I m not convinced that BRO has organizational standing to raise constitution

BRO doesn
t have members
it represents the amorphous

wonder

whether

a diversion

of its

and

2
a frustration of its mission
For example
BRO isn
t as an entity pursuing o verturn of Oregon
s
constitutional
ban on same gender marriage
Marriage Equality
or whatever the non profit established to
pursue the initiative
I suppose they
d argue that by creating the separate non profit to pursue the
initiative that it had to div ert resources from BRO s educational advocacy
to the initiation
So
this may just be a venting email
trying to come up with an argument on why BRO lacks organizational
standing
I suppose if we can make a cogent argument
we can use it in the response t
o consolidate as a
reason why the court shouldn
t consolidate the cases

I m not insisting on April 23 so much as I m hesitating over the wording


One thing to keep in mind is
that
if we do move it up
our office will need t o let the press know
since it s been widely reported as an
April 23 argument a couple times now
Not much value to an open process if we slip into court at an
unexpected time

Suggested adjustment to the last paragraph below


Also see the highlighted
addition
that the possible amici are aligned with the plaintiffs so far
so that the judge isn t

It is ou r understanding that those amicus

Plaintiffs have reviewed the response briefs and do not plan to file replies in support of their summary

the parties would be open to advancing argument to a new date

I m not insisting on April 23 so much as I m hesitating over the wording
that
if we do move it up
our office will need to let the press know
since it s been
widely reported
April 23 argument a couple times now
Not much value to an open process if we slip into court at an
unexpected time

as an

Suggested adjustment to the last paragraph below


Also see the highlighted addition
we should mention
that the possible amici are aligned with the plaintiffs so far
so that the judge isn t expecting amicus
briefs

defending

the ban

Counsel
parties have discussed
the Court s question on whether oral argument is necessary and would like
case

argument

for th
to keep

e
the

on for argument

We have been contacted


by at least two attorneys who are preparing amicus pleadings in support of
plaintiffs and have no objections
to those amicus pleadings
It is our understanding that those amicus
pleadings will be submitted on or before April 1
2014 based on the Court s scheduling order
Plaintiffs have reviewed the response briefs and do not plan to file replies i
n support of their summary
judgment motions
That being the case
if the Court has time available prior to April 23rd at a time when
counsel
are all available
the parties would be open to advancing argument to a new date
if the Court
wishes to do so
Two hours may not necessary for such argument
an hour may suffice
but counsel will of
course

to the Court s preference

as to the length

Okay

David

working on the

Svelund

case

23 line 19 to page
right

Thank

24 line 6

you very

to your briefings

here is my career

and if

much

I look

forward

any particular

difficulties

come

up and we can try to resolve them informally


I am pretty
accessible
Just contact the courtroom deputy
Ms
Pew
And also I
you know
if there are other
my
clerks

here

I think

are doing a very

good

job of finding

other briefings in other cases


If there are
rather than
copying the Oklahoma case and all the briefings that went
into it on either side
if you just think it s significant
please

just let

Mr

Svelund

know

and he will

get

it

for me

without you having to ship it down here or any of those


briefings that seem to be out there now
Okay
All right
Thank you very much
So

imagine you could forward the Michigan

opinion to either

Ms Pew

or

Mr Svelund and

it

would get to the Judge

I m writing on behalf of counsel for all the parties in the Geiger and Rummell cases
We met this week to
discuss plans for oral argument
and we are wondering whether there are any areas that Judge McShane would
particularly like us to cover in argument
or q uestions that the Judge would like us to answer in the course
of argument
We have a lot of lawyers and the briefing was lengthy
and we would like to focus argument on
those areas that will be most helpful to the Court
We
direction
but we also wanted to ask whether the Judge
most useful for him

can certainly prepare argument w


ithout the Court s
might have some thoughts on how argument would be

I m writing on behalf of counsel


for all the parties in the Geiger and Rummell cases
We met this week to
discuss plans for oral argument
and we are
wondering whether there are any areas that Judge McShane would
particularly like us to cover in argument
or questions that the Judge would like us to answer in the course
of argument
We have a lot of lawyers and the briefing was lengthy
and we would lik
e to focus argument on
those areas that will be most helpful to the Court
We can certainly prepare argument without the Court s
direction
but we also wanted to ask whether the Judge might have some thoughts on how argument would be
most useful for him

As soon

A religious

your clerk

You simply have

They

I am not striking the recent

You

this

And by the

Karcher and Orechio were

this is Justice

THE

you

know

there was

a motion to

I don't think it

I forget who filed

adds a whole
which

Every

leads

me to believe

But I

am not hearing

between

MR

are

the reason

13

well established

14

those

15

I want to unpack

cases

in NAACP

There

have

or the voters

21

didn't disclose

22

were that

23

NAACP

wanted
Alabama
There

Court in that

who

discrete

to seek contraceptive
disclose

are a whole

line of cases

to
provider

who

the clerk

married customers

or that

their members

host of cases
that

so

in Griswold Connecticut

doctors

their confidential

wouldn't

of

issues

or the wedding

we are not disclosing

is is the same reason the

25

clerk

and then those particular

20

24

and a large number

thirdparty standing

18

So the reason

problem we

think is I think

this to kind of get the


is NOM's

The

a number of cases where

been

represent the interests of the

vague

Alabama

17

19

agency

relationship

Well wait a minute

we are being

The first

16

any agency

and their local government

your clerk

11

us a little

capacity

An agency

is a

well who is

I mean Roberts goes on and on about

10

giving

official

bit

your clerk

questions

time somebody

clerk we get another declaration

it

But I am going to allow

from the

specifically

Supreme

say when

you

12

have

confidentiality

might follow

situation that

standing

got problems about

would

lost the harassment

be

as a result of

So that's why we have


the second

piece

of

that though

clerk him or herself have standing

intervening on the clerk's

clearly be standing
And that's the prior round

11

Perry case doesn't

address that

12

moved to intervene

in that

13

that

14

be different

15

order is going to be applied to that

16

comes

we cite

The clerk

by that

injunction

18

bound

19

clearly be standing

member of us with

22

private

capacity

23

clerk's

behalf those claims

25

And I

these concerns

think

in the

a clerk had not

clerk

may well

when

it

the

finally

issues

that

about

of that

standing because

who

I think

is can

was

there would

that you know it

I think

21

being a

think

of the state

So now the question

20

the clerk

But the language

may well have

So as an official

is does the

in Perry

down when a statewide injunction

17

24

because

case

in our brief says

And if

behalf

own

thirdparty

for the

that

done

10

that

that that's exactly the

sets up the opportunity

Now

that

exposing yourself the

is going to be
there

would

clerk by being a

harassment in her

member allow us to raise on the

what we set out in our brief on

I think is very important

For example if

this

a clerk was

13

going

to be forced

after a decision

from here made that

job different

it

the clerk

run for

would

had been

when

to resign

be a personal

I ever know

haven't

county

for someplace

that

even

How

that's

given

had first

could

not do the job


than

us

would

under

I mean I imagine if
like Lake

harm

a personal
even

that

I ever know

duties

How

seal the name of the

we looked

at the census data

County for example and that's

Oregon Lake County is a fairly non populace

not being from

11

county a large one but not much population

12

that

in fact

Lake

you are talking

in the Misha Isaak

in all

actually

you look at that

Honor in front of the court in the

Your

about

there is exactly the evidence

We submitted

declaration

of the

I think

Exhibit 8 or

for the last seven

of the domestic partnerships

that

it's

that

it's

all

And there
counties

that

So it's

11

eight

12

applied

person a county official


It's

14

personal issue that

16

under the Smith

Ms

18

is that

19

can't

Easton

had a domestic partnership

never

completely

this is actually

There

any of those states

by any

There the law

at the last hearing

a free exercise

THE

that

case which is the peyote case which

religiously neutral

claim

And we were looking

20

would

speculative

a generally applicable

have

not

also completely

15

25

if

then which is what you were talking

all

of the

of states

where

where

now

not find a single case in

this free exercise right has been

Sorry if

you

what

Ms

I am not

JOHNSON

a person

there was

So in that

and they came


it's

working

up positive

Justice Scalia

11

that

12

get

13

So it's

14

there

I have

opinion

wrote that

to smoke

finding

here

right

the generally

anyone who walks

And they

at the last hearing

there was no free exercise

Here

peyote

on

had a

said Justice Scalia and that was

remember the feedback

10

for the state

my religious right to

And the court

Easton

case in the Smith case

the neutral law would

in the door of this county

know any two people would have to get married

you

neutral

it's

a neutral

no religious specific

And then there's also a question in terms of the

of the

there's

we

don't

16

17

have

18

POTTER

I think

Thank

Mr

it

MR

this issue if

me question

It

this court

is not that

were to enter an

such that

at some

point down

in which

any of those duties


And I

the clerk

would

It

order then events

find himself in a position


I am sorry

the expressed

the

be

is that

might

line the clerk

or herself in which

he or

he or she does not want to


and does not want to

to someone

don't find any

support

just having

else
in any

case

24

the proposition that

25

to want to do part of your job is a substantial

law for

a personal preference
legal

not

22

interest

such that

it

I think it

would

support

here

an intervention

also really raises some troubling

interests with

respect to transparency

this person can

as an elected

represented and is seeking to hide an act that he is

attempting

people who will

next election

only come

be called

of this

in this case to argue

for his

Okay

MR

EASTMAN

18

hypothetical

Suppose

19

who had a strong

he or she is a member of just personally

and not through

Mr

there is an official

10

as

if

of this county

in as an official

of this county

because

Eastman you have the

kind

of final

reply on these

So I want to give a parallel


we

had a public

moral objection

with

a nurse

to performing abortions

a state statute dealing

said they don't have

hospitals and it

hospital

with

that

as a violation

sought was

every public

And the relief

would

that

be obligated

The nurse doesn't

that

opposes

The fact

it

that

part of an

sufficient to give her standing

standing for the organization

by that

And here's what

an

abortion

that

to make

but she is

that

but

are going to

I think is

litigation

and hence

of which

interest

the third party

she is

a member

the Oregon Supreme Court

said in

The

And then it

15

that

The plaintiffs

they ran for that

as a result of this court's ruling and the injunction

And

are involved

So the county

I would like to keep the discussion focused

law and try to keep

19

briefs to a minimum

20

strong

21

legal issues we need

views

some of the hyperbolic


I know

each

statements

in the

side has very different

of the motion to intervene

but there

are some

to resolve

So I am going to pose some questions

22

on the

23

probably going to pose more questions to

24

the burden

25

Mr

Eastman

But I

ask then

the other parties if

So

Mr

He

Eastman I will

states

We

have

standing of a private

constitutionality

officials

for the first

have

10

any law or cases

chosen
time

not representing

THE

We

Chief Justice

state
to do so

is there

the federal

good

Well Your Honor I think that

to intervene

But

if

is

about

on behalf

They

of the

particularized

you continue

were

state

injuries

to say in your
up with

your

and they are somewhat

they won't

defend

it

somebody has

us

EASTMAN

24

where

decline

or maybe I am mixing it

should

the

the

to where

a private

their separate

upheld

in Hollingsworth

can cite

in the newspaper

MR

23

that

COURT

that

not

what Hollingsworth

seeking

before

party to defend

statement

you

EASTMAN

mischaracterizes

18

says

here

allowed

Branch

14

And

that

never

of a state statute

So after that

17

start with

Eastman

blunt holding in Hollingsworth

Mr

comments on anything that

Well that's right

the statute because

the

party has

than standing in the

But seeking

particularized
shoes of the

to

attorney

general to defend

represent the

state

Hollingsworth

case itself

County

because

denied

But

have

county

but that
clerk

did not

We have

11

THE

COURT

13

MR

EASTMAN

14

THE

COURT

15

seek

a county
But

county

clerk

clerk

the law

said

the court

to

the Imperial

case that was

to enforce

was not before

10

12

in that

and the deputy

clerk

clerk and I think the

at a prior stage when

obligation

county

are not claiming

the county

itself

any independent
The

We

intervention

the county

it

us because

may well
the

you

don't
Well Your Honor
How

do you distinguish

Karcher

May

issue

on that

MR

16
17

actually

think

18

way

19

authority

20

Supreme

21

attorney

Karcher

EASTMAN
it's

Well Karcher

much

Court had allowed


general wouldn't
The Supreme

23

their continuing

24

but it

25

injury

was

closer to our case and it

to intervene
them

who

goes our

had no

other than the state

to intervene

when

the

defend

Court of the United

intervention

because

They

May involved

May had two legislators

under the state

22

after

they

States

rejected

lost their offices

they had no longer any particularized

had particularized

injury as long as they were

10

in those legislative positions

Here

our county

clerk

continues

to be in that

know would be bound by

position and he or she would

a ruling by this court which the plaintiffs

statewide injunction

permitted

permitted

officers

10

Well

to proceed

11

MR

EASTMAN

12

THE

COURT

only because

capacity

So what I

is an individual in some county

14

clerk

15

have

16

court about

17

seal

somebody

20

because

21

some county

22

objection

23

that

24
25

any attempt

as a

they may have

to

capacity

they lost

know

As soon

standing

about

They

at some

to a

same sex couple

it

A religious

with

declarations

made this statement

clerk

works

in this

a dialogue

at having

to

your clerk

in Oregon who

orders about

protective

who works

19

they were state

are not making an appearance

You simply have

18

were

Well

13

avoided

Roberts

in an official

as they lost that

They

have

been

We

is it

as a

case

declaration that

was

way

under

have

injured

point issue a license in

and they have

personal

a religious

objection

mean

I am not striking the recent

filed

You

this

was your most current declaration


And by the

Karcher and Orechio were

this is Justice

acting

seek to have

issued

COURT

THE

you

know

there was

a motion to

11

strike

I don't think it

more information

moving

this

bit more information

I forget who filed

target

it

lot other than a little

adds a whole
which

Every

leads

me to believe

But I

am not hearing

relationship

relationship in Hollingsworth
between

MR

EASTMAN

12

are

the reason

13

well established

14

those

15

I want to unpack

cases

in NAACP

There

have

or the voters

21

didn't disclose

22

were that

23

NAACP

wanted
Alabama
There

Court in that

who

discrete

to seek contraceptive
disclose

are a whole

line of cases

to
provider

interests
who

the clerk

married customers
services

or that

their members

host of cases
that

so

in Griswold Connecticut

doctors

their confidential

wouldn't

of

issues

or the wedding

we are not disclosing

is is the same reason the

25

clerk

and then those particular

20

24

and a large number

thirdparty standing

18

So the reason

problem we

think is I think

this to kind of get the


is NOM's

The

a number of cases where

been

represent the interests of the

vague

Alabama

17

19

agency

relationship

Well wait a minute

we are being

The first

16

any agency

and their local government

your clerk

11

us a little

capacity

An agency

is a

well who is

I mean Roberts goes on and on about

10

giving

official

bit

your clerk

questions

time somebody

clerk we get another declaration

it

But I am going to allow

from the

specifically

Supreme

say when

you

12

have

confidentiality

might follow

situation that

standing

got problems about

would

lost the harassment

be

as a result of

So that's why we have


the second

piece

of

that though

clerk him or herself have standing

intervening on the clerk's

clearly be standing
And that's the prior round

11

Perry case doesn't

address that

12

moved to intervene

in that

13

that

14

be different

15

order is going to be applied to that

16

comes

we cite

The clerk

by that

injunction

18

bound

19

clearly be standing

member of us with

22

private

capacity

23

clerk's

behalf those claims

25

And I

these concerns

think

in the

a clerk had not

clerk

may well

when

it

the

finally

issues

that

about

of that

standing because

who

I think

is can

was

there would

that you know it

I think

21

being a

think

of the state

So now the question

20

the clerk

But the language

may well have

So as an official

is does the

in Perry

down when a statewide injunction

17

24

because

case

in our brief says

And if

behalf

own

thirdparty

for the

that

done

10

that

that that's exactly the

sets up the opportunity

Now

that

exposing yourself the

is going to be
there

would

clerk by being a

harassment in her

member allow us to raise on the

what we set out in our brief on

I think is very important

For example if

this

a clerk was

13

going

to be forced

after a decision

from here made that

job different

it

the clerk

run for

would

had been

when

to resign

be a personal

I ever know

haven't

county

for someplace

that

even

How

that's

given

had first

could

not do the job


than

us

would

under

I mean I imagine if
like Lake

harm

a personal
even

that

I ever know

duties

How

seal the name of the

we looked

at the census data

County for example and that's

Oregon Lake County is a fairly non populace

not being from

11

county a large one but not much population

12

that

in fact

13

Lake

County and we might be able to at least use that

14

information to

15

harm

16

willing

17

individual

decide you know is this a hypothetical

is a real
to make

harm or are Lake County officials

an accommodation

19

we have

20

that's going to happen

got a phantom

MR

21
22

think

23

pleaded

EASTMAN

the Southwest
facts

we may find

there are almost no gay families registered in

But the way you

18

would

mean you

10

it

what

office that

harm as a result of the official

COURT

THE

because

back
to

have

for this particular

formulated it

to the court

here take my word for everything

him

Well two things

Center says you

have

First of
to take

THE

COURT

25

MR

EASTMAN

Not

conclusory

facts though

Not conclusory

facts but

all

the well

as true in a motion to intervene

24

is

14

THE

COURT

MR

EASTMAN

THE

COURT

MR

EASTMAN

We could

That's

They

are beyond

we could

submit a declaration

redacted

because

identifying

the problem
I'd

official

13

in an official

MR

COURT

16

means that

17

authorization

18

are going to expend

19

is

20

intervenor

like

a declaration

authorizing the

from the county

clerk

to intervene

Well as we represented

clerk

there doesn't
There

have

know the other

which

to be a specific

does have

county

in our reply

elected

is independently

to be authorization

funds
the

They

purpose

are

not

of the

if

so

they
which

thirdparty

here
THE

COURT

Okay

we have

kind of jumped off of my Hollingsworth

Let me hear

22

parties on

23

question into the issue of the

24

clerk

25

without

submit a declaration from the

I'd

EASTMAN

brief the county

21

county

capacity

15

you

the names and the county

to

who is actually

14

with

exactly identify the

But I could

12

seal

submit something under

clerk which you know is part of

the county

THE

11

I can't

have

inquiry

Well let me propose this then

We could

clerk

with

am faced

Well

10

what I

I will

hear from the

from the other

substantial

parties on

harm to the

that

15

Mr

Johnson do you want to go first

MR

JOHNSON

specifically

THE

COURT

Yes

Let's talk

interests of the clerk

that's

Organization for Marriage

MR

From a review

9
10

brief it

seemed that

person was

about

would

Your

12

was before the

13

What

of standing

going

to stand in the shoes of our

16

going

to

17

office

They

20

21

exercise

it's

of the county

that

member and then we are


capacity

the

county
issue or personal

they are trying to then assert

a personal issue

It's

really kind

through

that

is

of a free

issue
And the office

22

this

capacity

also then adopt their official

that

that

are attempting to say we are

And the kind of personal


interest

but conceded

NOM is attempting to do here is really borrow

15

19

brief NOM's reply

court

two levels

18

Honor

to be the office

14

of that

question

the substantial

of their reply

they had all

have

What

a member of the National

not here in their official


It

11

Yes

JOHNSON

Honor

Your

23

is

24

And so they can't

25

that

doesn't

have

of the county

a religion

The office

represent the county

whatever
itself
They

county
is

can't

that

secular
adopt

16

The

in terms

personal interest

about

summary judgment briefing

you are talking

in the Misha Isaak

the

all

in all

actually

you look at that

Honor in front of the court in the

Your

about

there is exactly the evidence

We submitted

declaration

of the

I think

Exhibit 8 or

for the last seven

of the domestic partnerships

that

it's

that

it's

all

of

years six years

have

been

applied for

of the counties

10

were by my reading last night seven or

And there
counties

that

have

for

So it's

11

eight

12

applied

13

person a county official


It's

14

personal issue that

16

under the Smith

17

Ms

18

is that

19

can't

Easton

had a domestic partnership

never

completely
or

this is actually

spoke

about

ever face

this

this

on just the

a free exercise

issue

21

There

22

legal and in none of

23

any of those states

24

recognized

by any

There the law

at the last hearing

THE

that

this issue if

is not that

just having

24

the proposition that

law for

not

such that

it

I think it

here

an intervention

also really raises some troubling

interests with

we

Honor you mentioned

earlier on the

question of discretion

One of the

20

there's great discretion

is on the timeliness question

21

I do think

22

that

the only issue where

That
